Home affairs data breach may have exposed personal details of 770,000 migrants

Posted on May 3, 2020 by Dissent

Paul Karp reports that the government has been exposing personal details of 774,000 migrants and those wishing to migrate to Australia.

The department’s SkillsSelect platform, hosted by the employment department, invites skilled workers and business people to express an interest in migrating to Australia.

Expressions of interest are stored for two years and displayed on a publicly available app, advertised on the home affairs website, allowing them to receive invitations for skilled work visas.
